Since reverting back to my original name on here ( Bobbisox)1 I've gone to my profile and unchecked subscribe,however I'm still getting loads of mail when someone else is answering a post I've been involved in, I've scrolled to the bottom of each email and clicked on the link to unsubscribe, still they keep coming, is there anything else I can do to stop this please?

It would be interesting to hear what Ab Editor has to say on the matter.

Meanwhile, if you have a read of the replies to the Spare Ed's sticky at the top of this section, you'll see that you are Not alone in being unable to correct issues via your Profile.

Go to Hi Bobbisox1, view your profile.....above latest posts.

Then left click the grey box that says edit my profile.

Scroll down and uncheck "subscribe to all my own questions".

Hi Hans and Togo, I've done that and still my mailbox is filling up, I've deleted about 150 notifications that says I'm subscribed to, I even got one yesterday from a thread I wasn't in ( to my knowledge)
@Togo

Altering one's Profile doesn't always work. My profile insists that my favourite food is HansUrbancka.

It's my view that there are technical problems in AB which need attention.

I had to register to get my original name back so that meant a different email address , I've never chosen the name Bobbs202 , God knows who did ;+) but the email attached to it worked okay, I had no problems but now I've had to stop notification ( sound) on my phone, it's driving me crazy
Did this happen in your other names Bobbisox? Thanks
For the time being why not mark the emails as junk.
Haha Hans. The truth will out. (^_*)

Joking aside. I wonder if it all goes back to the beta switch over some while back? Bet that most of the details that are set in stone go back that far.
Togo, you have raised an interesting point, which certainly warrants official comment. I wonder if we will hear from AB Editorial.

Hans
Or you could log out of your new email address and just log back into your old one.
@ummmm

It's Not as easy as you suggest. Please have a read of my comments in the Spare Ed's 'sticky'.

Yes it is. I don't use the email address I'm registered with. Simple.
ummmm...You make things appear so easy without any real explanation.

Hans.
Sounds simple to me, Hans. Create an email address that is to be used only for AnswerBank, and set that email address on your profile (and Wordpress).
@fiction-factory

I don't disagree with what you are saying. However, I am endeavouring to make the point that it's not easy trying to alter anything recorded in one's Profile.

Ff, that's what I've done but not yet on wordpress till I'm allowed an avatar as it's a new account
Hans - Bobbi had to make a new email account for Bobbisox1. Leave that email address in her profile and use her previous email address (as she's assumedly been doing for years) as her normal email address and log out of her AB one.

It's that simple.
ummmm.......You've now confused me; which is Not unusual.

Hans.

You cannot have two accounts using the same e-mail address can you?

The answer to that is No, Corby
